Re: 9Th Grade AIS Class- Need Help
Posted by Jeff on 5/08/08

    Hey Alexis,

    I firmly believe you can turn things around whenever you
    choose. But you have to be clear, calm, kind, consistent,
    and FIRM.

    Here's my lengthy description of a system I believe will
    work for you. If you're interested, you might find
    the 'shorthand HD' posts interesting as well.

    All my best,
